Foursquare shows off all 18 SXSW badges
Earlier this afternoon, we posted a partial list of foursquare’s SXSW badges. Tonight they’ve posted the full set of core SXSW badges — complete with pictures. Here are the badges, along with the tips from our earlier post:
| Badge | Name | Hint (if available) and/or Notes |
|---|---|---|
 | 4sq Early Adopter | This is only available to the 5,000 or so users who checked in with foursquare at SXSW 2009. |
 | 4sq Sophomore | This is for users making their second trip to SXSW as foursquare users. |
 | 4sq SXSW Virgin | For foursquare/SXSW rookies. |
 | Platformer | "Check in on three services that use foursquare API. OAuth FTW!" |
 | foursquare with foursquare | "Yo Dawg, I heard you liked to play foursquare." If you do, you can play it at the foursquare court in the Pepsi MAX lot. You'll be able to score some foursquare swag in the process. |
 | Disco Nap | "Sometimes you need to recharge more than just your phone back at the hotel. No shame in announcing an afternoon Disco Nap." |
 | SXSW Bender | "Four nights out past Cinderella's bedtime." |
 | 10 Gallon Swarm | "Lasso up 2,499 of your closest friends and check in around Austin!" Everything really is bigger in Texas, I guess! |
 | SXSW Hangover | "Out past 3am? Woah. What time is that first panel tomorrow... or is that today?" |
 | Name Dropper | "Who do you know? Shout it out!" |
 | SXSW Bar Crawl | "5 bars + 3 hours = harder than it looks." |
 | SXSW Far Far Away | "There's more to Austin than SXSW. Explore!" |
 | Golden Ticket | "Follow Big Boi on foursquare, check in at SXSW and hope Grandpa Joe is on your side." This badge will be awarded randomly for checkins around Austin; unlocking it earns you a ticket to foursquare's Monday night concert with Big Boi. |
 | Director's Cut | This badge is likely tied to the Film portion of SXSW. |
 | Head Banger | Likely tied to SXSW's music event. |
 | Room Service | |
 | Karaoke RV | A returning badge for users who check in at the RVIP RV Karaoke Lounge (which foursquare is a sponsor of this year). |
 | Panel Nerd | Another returning badge for checking in at the official SXSW panels. |
What do you think of all the new badges? If you’re heading to SXSW, which one are you most excited to earn?
Sadface for those that aren’t attending SXSW..
this is just rubbing it in. hmph.
I want to go to SXSW just for the badges
Man. I ‘d like to be an indonesian. jajaja
Hehe, you don’t have to “be” an Indonesian… just pretend to be one for a week
How about a coke-head badge if you get 15/18 badges?

I wonder if you can get the Platformer badge if you aren’t at SxSW or if it only unlocks for Austin venues. It seems like that one should be for anyone. I’ll try for it and report back.

love my sxsw badges, including getting into Big Boi’s concert…hmmmm
they are not all working properly. i used footfeed, gowalla, hashable and waze to checkin and didnt get the platformer badge. i was on the rv karoke bus and the venue wouldnt come up in the search for anyone on board.
For platformer, foursquare has said you need to use the official platform partners apps. Of the ones you listed, only hashable counts. Try instagram, picplz, groupme, etc.
As for the Karaoke RV badge, it showed up fine when I searched for RVIP.
Hello: Can we still get the SxSw badges after the 15th of March??? or are they retired already? I read that you can still get them until the 20th of March???
